"Prime Minister, something big has happened!”
A burly man in armor with a long sword at his waist walked in quickly.
"Wenze, how can you be so flustered!”Cao Cao glared at Yu Jin, who was walking over quickly.
"Prime Minister, something big has happened. East Ridge Pass has been breached!”Yu Jin said hurriedly, completely ignoring Cao Cao's expression.
"Chen Dao and all the guards have been killed. The people in the pass have all fled!”
"What did you say?" Hearing this news, Cao Cao looked at Yu Jin sharply." Is what you said true?”
"Prime Minister, it is absolutely true. Wen Ze would never dare to lie to the Lord!”Yu Jin quickly said," According to the soldiers who escaped, it was a group of mountain bandits who attacked East Ridge Pass!”
"How dare you! How can a group of bandits take down East Ridge Pass? I have sent 6,000 guards there!”Cao Cao said angrily.
"Prime minister, what Wen Ze said is true!”
At this moment, Guo Jia and the others also rushed over.
"Fengxiao, why are you all here?”Cao Cao looked at everyone and said.
"Prime Minister, we already know that East Ridge Pass has been breached!”Guo Jia said seriously. "We have a general understanding of the situation. I don't think it's a group of bandits. After all, it's impossible for bandits to have such terrifying strength.”
"Wenze, tell me everything from the beginning to the end!”Hearing that something was wrong, Cao Cao said seriously to Yu Jin.
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Jin told him everything he knew in a serious manner.
"Prime Minister, a few hundred people against four thousand people, this doesn't seem like the strength of a bandit. Do you think it's possible that the other factions have planted them around us?”Yu Jin said seriously.
"I don't think that's the case. If it's really as Wen Ze said, which faction would be so generous as to place such a powerful team by our side, and even risk exposing themselves to take down a small pass, I still think that these people are a group of bandits. It's just that I didn't know that these bandits had such terrifying strength!”Guo Jia added.
"Hmph, such a terrifying force suddenly appeared. Fengxiao, do you think it's possible that they're mountain bandits? They must have been planted by some force around us!”Yu Jin strongly disagreed with Guo Jia's idea.
"Prime Minister, please give me ten thousand soldiers. I will immediately exterminate those people. Are they bandits or spies? I will not let them live!”Yu Jin looked at Cao Cao seriously.
"Alright, I agree, but I have to send another person to follow you!”Cao Cao smiled and said," Filial piety!"
"Yes!" Guo Jia replied indifferently, as if he had already expected Cao Cao to call him.
"This time, I'll send you ten thousand soldiers. If you can capture these people alive, then capture them alive. If you can't, then kill them all.”
"Yes, sir!"
"This subordinate accepts the order!"
Yu Jin and Guo Jia both agreed excitedly. Then, the two of them quickly left.
……
"Fort Master, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow has been forged!”
In the meeting hall, Xu Banxian excitedly handed a small Zhuge Repeating Crossbow to Hong Tianyu.
Hong Tianyu quickly took it and looked at the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand.
"Good, good, good. It's exactly the same as the blueprint!”Hong Tianyu smiled and said," I just don't know if the power is the same as the blueprint.”
"Fort Master, these are the arrows used by the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!”Hearing Hong Tianyu's words, Xu Banxian took out the ten bows and arrows that she had prepared.
As the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow only had ten slots, he only brought ten arrows for Hong Tianyu to practice.
"Let's go out and give it a try!" Hong Tianyu took the ten arrows from Xu Banxian's hands and walked out while reloading the arrows.
Not long after, Hong Tianyu stopped in front of a big tree.
He raised the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand and aimed at a tree trunk as thick as an adult's arm.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hong Tianyu shot out five arrows in a row. Each arrow had a sound of tearing through the air, as if the air was about to be torn apart by these arrows.
Whoosh!
Then, there was the sound of a tree trunk breaking. The tree trunk that Hong Tianyu was aiming at broke.
"Hiss, the power of this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is too terrifying!”Xu Banxian looked at the broken tree trunk in shock.
It was as thick as an adult's arm. Even an ordinary person would need some strength to cut it with an axe. However, he did not expect that it would be broken by just five arrows.
"Fort Master, this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is really a divine weapon. With it, even a child can kill people from a thousand miles away!”Xu Banxian sighed.
"Haha!" Hong Tianyu smiled without saying a word. Then, he fired the last five arrows from the crossbow.
This time, he aimed at some thinner branches, only as thick as a baby, but they were only broken by one arrow.
After the test, Hong Tianyu handed the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow to Xu Banxian." Advisor Jun, inform all the craftsmen to make as many Zhuge Repeating Crossbows as they can. It would be best if they can make a few large-scale siege crossbows!”
Ever since he took down East Ridge Pass, Hong Tianyu had been worried that Cao Cao would send people to attack him. Although he was not too worried because of the favorable terrain, who knew what would happen when the time came. Therefore, he had to make the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow as soon as possible. With this, coupled with the natural moat in front of the village, it was enough to reach the level of self-protection.
"Yes, Fort Master. I'll inform them now!”
Xu Banxian agreed excitedly and left quickly.
"Are you worried that someone will attack Sealed Dragon Camp?”
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded behind Hong Tianyu.
"Yes, I just broke through East Ridge Pass. It won't be long before someone comes to attack my stronghold!”Hong Tianyu turned around and said to Cai Yan.
"Then…do you have the confidence to defend the stronghold this time?”Cai Yan looked at Hong Tianyu worriedly.
"Didn't you see my confidence just now?”Hong Tianyu said with a smile.
Seeing Hong Tianyu say this, the worry in Cai Yan's heart disappeared quite a bit. She had just witnessed the terror of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow from afar. It was a long-range killing weapon.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"I…the school and other things have been settled. Now, I'm just waiting for you to inform the people in the village!”Cai Yan said.
"So fast?" Hong Tianyu was a little happy." Then let's go now!"”
With that, Hong Tianyu pulled Cai Yan to the school at the back of the mountain!
Suddenly being pulled by Hong Tianyu, Cai Yan was stunned and followed Hong Tianyu. After a while, she finally reacted and looked at Hong Tianyu shyly.
"He…is quite handsome!" Cai Yan looked at Hong Tianyu's back in a daze. This was the first time she felt that Hong Tianyu was very handsome.
